King Tubby

Tubby began working with Arthur "Duke" Reid in 1968. At Treasure Isle studio, Tubby began making remixes of hit songs, usually by simply removing the vocals. In time, Tubby (and others) began shifting the emphasis in the instrumentals, adding sounds, removing others, and adding various special effects, like echoes, feedback and filtering. Tubby's sound system was destroyed by police in 1975.
